Snip-Its

Snip-its is a kids' hair salon known for haircuts, with braiding and styling also on the menu of services. Its stylists focus on children, and the room is set up for them, with kid-size styling chairs and a playful atmosphere built around its cartoon characters, Snips and The Gang. The brand is a national chain, and this West Caldwell shop sits inside Essex Mall.

You can book online or check in online ahead of time, and same-day check-in is available. Weekday hours run late morning into early evening, with shorter hours on Saturday and Sunday. Parents with fidgety or anxious kids will find the stylists patient about keeping children entertained and involved during the cut. The shop is at 905 Bloomfield Ave in Essex Mall, West Caldwell.
